You don’t need to worry about the authenticity of the stories. The authors of each album in the series are experts who have made significant contributions to the study of Eurasian civilization history, both at home and abroad. Those engaging tales are the crystallization of years of dedicated research! The seemingly mysterious ruins and artifacts, as well as the intellectual culture, are all supported by reliable documents and physical evidence. Various types of cultures emerge, evolve, collide, and blend here. The rugged nomadic culture is just one aspect. The city-states in the oases and the stable lives of agricultural societies also produced splendid civilizations. The Eurasian "Silk Road" that runs through it not only transmits material goods but also spreads spiritual values. In the late Middle Ages, cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva became outstanding centers of human intellectual exploration and artistic creation. The relative isolation of the inland regions provided the greatest possible opportunity for ethnic groups to create rich and timeless artistic masterpieces.
